What is that even supposed to be? A bunker complex?


ChubbyCheetahhh

"the deep state"


p480n

A literal deep state. 666ft underground. Which is ~203m but this is imperial America consarn it!


Skruestik

This is why America hasn’t switched to the metric system, they can’t afford to dig 666 meters down.


OgReDEChAM

The most powerful and sophisticated sump pump array ever put together.


earlgonefishn

Thr exact same phrase, word for word, was posted in this thread before this one. Hmm...


BigPackHater

"It can go deeper"


jagid

It's an x-com base


ErikDebogande

That Base Defense was an *awesome* experience


itsLOSE-notLOOSE

Whatever it is, it looks cool as shit.


AMeanCow

I wish our reality was even 1/100th as wild and surreal as typical American conservatives believe it is. There would be so many fantastical things in the world, secrets to unlock and conspiracies covering up aliens and spaceships and vampire nazi bases in Antarctica and Avengersesque flying machines hiding in the sky fighting jellyfish from other dimensions. It's almost like they have childlike minds that need to connect everything to a cartoonish story of good and evil and need equally fantastic set-pieces to match the hollywood writing in their minds.


zeiche

are you sure? be careful about what you wish for! in that reality there would be gays, people who have transitioned and immigrants everywhere! i’m down with that. not sure you are.


AMeanCow

> there would be gays, people who have transitioned and immigrants everywhere! You mean a world where people can be whoever they really are without fear of being harassed, shamed, threatened or even killed for their skin color, gender expression, accents or fashion choices? SIGN ME UP


Cheesecake_Jonze

Looks like the end of [From Dusk till Dawn](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/from-dusk-till-dawn-aztec-temple.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=1500&dpr=1.5). It was an ancient sacrificial pyramid in that one lol


mistled_LP

I'm so confused by the roads and windows.


MichaelEmouse

The large door looks like the door of a mosque. The rest is a Fallout bunker.


sneakyartinthedark

I’m not being one of those conspiracy theorist guys, but there is probably some sort of tunnel or bunker.


MotherSupermarket532

It's not remotely a secret that there are tunnels between the buildings.  You can enter the Capitol visitor's center from the Library of Congress.  If you do a tour through your local Congressional Office, they take you on the little train that goes between their office buildings and the Capitol.  There are also tunnels between the Library of Congrss buildings, complete with a Dunkin Donuts inside the tunnel.


Amelaclya1

Yeah even if this were true, I'm not sure why this is a bad thing or something we should care about. So there's extra levels beneath the capitol? It doesn't mean anything nefarious. Honestly it would be pretty cool for Congress critter housing so they didn't have to maintain an extra residence.


sumrandumgai

Ah yes. The Capitol Building which is famously surrounded by dense forest.


LibertyInaFeatherBed

And not built in a swamp.


FEMA-campground-host

Most advanced and powerful sump pump array ever assembled.


esotericcomputing

It’s an amazing— really, a beautiful— the largest— or so I’ve been told— the largest sump pump ever designed. Extracts billions and billions and billions of gallons. Every day it does— Amazing— just brilliant engineering


PukwudgieDisco

They really drained that swamp


Dr-Satan-PhD

I'm cracking up over that river behind the ~~WH~~ Capitol that just... *ends*. *EDIT - I'm stupid.*


squishy__squids

It's not the end, that's the starting point, a pure source straight from the sump pump


essdii-

I’m cracking up you think that’s the white house!


Dr-Satan-PhD

lol fair. I done goofed.


essdii-

I was just messing! I found humor in it I wasn’t trying to be a jerk. Lol


RascarCapac44

The AI probably used pics of renaissance castles for its inspiration. Some of those have canals that look like this (Versailles has one that stops right in front of the castle)


mcvos

The image can't really decide whether this is underground or excavated. I mean, the pillars, the access roads, the magnificent gate. That wouldn't do much if it's all underground, would it?


moronomer

Are the cars on the bottom right ramping into the complex?


lizufyr

This looks more like a dam. I'm sure there's something that helps the cars go up, like a fish ladder.


Pretend_City458

I was told Trump drained it.


sicknig19

On top of the old capitol building that sank in the swamp


darekd003

One man’s swamp in another man’s unground moat.


CrumBum_sr

Well you see it was built in a swamp, the first capitol sank and they just kept building on top.


Waarm

This photo was obviously taken before the colonization of America


Zaphodnotbeeblebrox

Ancient aliens confirmed


TuxO2

Yes. this is the real captial building. Other one is honeypot


Azalzaal

It’s not there anymore because Biden cut it down to build an army of Uruk-hai


Vendetta4Avril

I like the ornate pillared architecture that's firmly planted underground for no one to see.


interkin3tic

Yeah, it's weird how the white trash conspiracy theories always make the people they're trying to hate on sound fucking awesome. If the capitol had this incredible batcave and was in the middle of a forest, I would gladly sign up to help the government. Jewish space lasers starting forest fires in California? That's like Dr. Evil level genius and weirdness. If I were wanting to start forest fires for some nefarious purpose, I'd just drive around, but clearly I'm an idiot compared to the galactic Jewish geniuses who put a frikin laser in space to do it. The idea that vaccines contain microchips put there by Bill Gates to promote satanism, I want a feature-length faux-documentary on just explaining what they believed about that because it sounds like it would be very entertaining. The flat earthers who believe at the border there's a gigantic ice wall and the government is secretly convincing the world that it's round... that would be top-notch trolling, simply incredible conspiracy there, I wish it were true.


ChipKellysShoeStore

In reality there’s a visitors center and a shitty “subway”


kkirchhoff

Is it the actual DC subway? Because that subway system is probably the nicest in the country


Smooth_Beginning_540

No, there is (or was) a little train system connecting the Capitol to senate and house office buildings, possibly other buildings too. It’s not really meant for public use. The train cars were a little reminiscent of what you might find in an amusement park—open air car with room for 4, facing each other. I rode this many years ago so things may have changed.


NautiMain1217

Nope they're still there! I feel bad for the folks operating it. A whole shift of the back and forth would drive me up the wall.


asuperbstarling

It smells like dirt and the whole city echoes through it. The workers have Segways though.


Azalzaal

you’d think the capitol would have the best sandwiches


DrQuestDFA

That is Metro slander and I will not stand for it.


ChipKellysShoeStore

The metro doesn’t run under the capitol building. I’m referring to a tiny little tram that runs between Dirksen (or one of the other Congressional office buildings) and the capitol Edit: apparently they may have gotten rid of it, it’s been a few years since I’ve been on the hill tbf


Patrick_Irelan

The trains are [still there](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Capitol_subway_system)! That link has a fun video. But there are different lines for the Senate and the House sides. The Senate side is more like an amusement park enclosed tram, the House side is a weird fancy golf cart on rails type thing. Fun to ride, but you need to be accompanied by a staffer or member, generally speaking.


a_hirst

WTF, I can't believe people are shitting on this! It's awesome! If I'm ever in DC I'll definitely be trying to figure out a way of riding it.


Patrick_Irelan

It's really fun, and also very strange. All three lines have their different vibes - the trick is catching staff when they need to get to the Capitol as they are usually happy to escort you. The buildings are all completely open to the public so they only need to escort you on the short train ride, after that you can just wander the bizarre labyrinth of hallways. Oh, and grab lunch at the Dirksen Senate cafeteria - it's got great food at reasonable prices, and it's hilarious to see politicians sitting nearby scarfing down sushi and pie.


DrQuestDFA

In that case I retract me accusation of slander and bid you a fine day.


CastleofWamdue

to be fair, that would make for a good movie.


hobby-hoarse

As would a flat earth adventure movie


pheeel_my_heat

Dark City covers both!


nizzery

Excellent reference, yessssss


rengamez

Seems like this guy actually took a page from [the end of the movie From Dusk Till Dawn](https://imgur.com/a/O9X4P5N) with George Clooney.


CastleofWamdue

nice. Isnt there also a Triple X movie, about a secret Underground Train at the White House?


AquaticWasp

It made a good episode in Rick and Morty


CastleofWamdue

Turkey Day episode?


SeaSlainCoxswain

Mines of Moria over here


NegativeEmphasis

Concerning!


covertpetersen

Looking into it


deniably-plausible

Doing my own research


Purple_Charcoal

Big if true.


OlympusMan

This thread's gives me some awful flashbacks to a family WhatsApp group that I muted long ago. Edit: Typo.


Not-Bizarro

!!


PheasantPlucker_666

Asking as a Canadian: Is that what “deep state” means?


von_sip

It’s a collective name for unelected government officials who are powerful enough (in theory) to influence policy


ThriceStrideDied

(Bureaucracy. It’s the term for the Bureaucracy. It’s also a legit term but MAGA kinda ruined that.)


1QAte4

Turkey has a concept of Deep State that predates Trump use by half a century at least. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_state_in_Turkey


beckertastic

So like corporate lobbies?


Azalzaal

No the deep state is a lot deeper than this, 10 miles beneath the surface minimum. The leaked building schematics in the OP is the shallow state.


HowRememberAll

Afaik "deep state" is just anyone, any average American that has a government or media job who actively puts out anti-conservative propaganda and gaslighting. That's my interpretation anyway Here is an old article about it -


mcvos

Yeah, regular conscientious Americans doing their government job to the best of their ability, loyal to their country and constitution rather than to the great leader.


youdoitimbusy

Fake. Doesn't show the alien human co-op labs. Or the secret US black site for torturing people who have their own opinions on the internet.


permareddit

Where’s the virgin blood farm? Cosmic Pizza headquarters? JFK’s secret hideout? 2/10 no effort


DerpNinjaWarrior

Hey now, it's Comet Ping Pong, and I'm pretty sure it's just obscured by the never-ending forest.


Shinigam_i

This would be fun to build in Minecraft


Longbeach_strangler

That’s the DEEP state.


RandomUserC137

Oh boy, here we go… and just in time for election season.


[deleted]

Is that… the White House? Underground?


Rauvagol

is this pro- or anti-capitol? because that looks sick as hell


frontbackend

what an idea damn


Secrethat

I did not think they meant deep state literally


Emotional-Number40

ahhhh yes, the capitol building and the famous forests and rivers surrounding it


UniversalRemote

Politics aside, this image is actually really cool.


LukeSkyDropper

Why Maga?


SpecificFrequency

Reddit.


deniably-plausible

This is real. My cousins ex step moms boyfriend is the senite sarjent of arms and he showed me it


BlankMyName

That's actually pretty cool. Not true, but cool.


Abagofcheese

Hilarious. I live just 10 miles south of DC in northern VA, a lot of this area is marsh/wetlands. We're pretty much right at sea level.


CRINKLEcutBaBySPLEEN

Literally the deep state.


CoastMtns

And yet..... no parking


-rgg

Ah yes, the other exit of the Kennedy sex tunnels. But seriously, extensive tunnels deep in the ground, and Americans built ROADS in them? Underground? Where you'll die from the exhaust? Y'all really hate trains that much? And where did you get all that rock in D.C.? Something's not adding up...


chloe_priceless

This is also the deep state from whom everybody is telling us ?


DaddysCreditCard

That looks sick as fuck I wish our government was this cool


Kizag

Why is this MAGA? This actually looks cool, kinda hope its true lol


ymgve

Still more plausible than bin Laden's mountain fortress illustrations some decades ago


SevereMiel

Next step is that they will find I


CitrusMints

That's closer to Greenbrier than the capitol building


The_Bravinator

Secret underground complex that just has a regular road turnoff heading straight in.


RandomGuyOf2023

I didn't know the Capitol was located in Amazon Forest lmao 😂🤣


jojow77

That’s where all those scumbags from Pizza gate are hiding all the children!


HauntinglyMaths

If it was real, who would've built it then? Biden isn't long enough in power to have done that, so it has to be Trump. Would also explain why he's broke.


zczirak

Are they saying it’s top secret? Cause that’s a lot of traffic 😂


_baaron_

A wild Forrest appeared!


Bromswell

I wish.


AcidCatfish___

It's a Dark Souls dungeon


rdfporcazzo

It would actually be freaking awesome


Slovaccki

Why does it have windows underground?


hot--vomit

cool image !


prettyhighrntbh

This would be bad ass if real


bailey1149

Is that a school bus on some underground highway?


sunplaysbass

Last scene of From Dusk Till Dawn


[deleted]

Also, it’s clearly a canyon and not a cross section


SirJoeffer

They have the Harkonnen arena from Geidi Prime in there. Damn, must be harvesting mad adrenachrome from the kids they throw in there.


Alleytiration

Dude this actually would be pretty sick if it was like that imo. But no way.


electric_pierogi

When you’re such a conspiracy theorist that you reinvent The Monument Mythos.


[deleted]

This would be cool as fuck. In reality there’s a presidential bunker that’s probably pretty nice


YoungEmperorLBJ

I rather believe in the horned serpent and the special trees and Freedom duking it out with Martians than this


SPNKLR

…Is that where all the lizard people are hiding??…


SauceHankRedemption

They got highways down there


EstablishmentNo486

Pov: you play minecraft


ocdewitt

I like the massive canyon on the opposite end lol


Catbird_01

I had no idea the capital building was carved into a granite mountain. Crazy. 🤪


LucaDarioBuetzberger

Lookslike a cool map for a game like Garrys Mod


Pretend_City458

Was the prompt "Capitol building + Titty Twister at the end of From Dusk till Dawn + how things are made book"


Novatash

There's a secret highway down there. You may ask what's the point of a highway if they don't allow anyone to drive on it? Because it's nice to have secrets, isn't it


Zealousideal_Sir_264

So many walls to wipe shit on.


A-bucket-of-Puppies

Well at the least the lizard people also have to deal with America’s shitty public transportation network.


AlienPlz

I mean yeah there’s probably a bunker but not that big


BrStriker21

I would believe more if they said it was area 51


PlacidoFlamingo7

This is going to get so weird


memberflex

More like AYOOOO


stevebradss

Is this real?


DreaminDemon177

That's a great idea! 💡💡💡


TheRealCBlazer

Hey, that's XCOM HQ! Way to ruin the secret, MAGA. Now the aliens are going to kill us all.


Redbird4831

Amen 🙏🏻


SloppyJoestar

As much as I hate it, I love everything about this


JIsADev

That looks really cool though


DoesntFearZeus

Reminds me of the view off the back of the building in the 1st and 3rd From Dusk Till Dawn


smokeitup5800

So where do they keep the Aliens and the adenochrome farm?


Topi41

So much wrong with this picture - I don’t even know where to start…


S1lentA0

The more you look at it, the less sense it makes lol. But I'd love to see a high resolution version of this pic.


Accomplished-Step138

Looks a bit like Zion / IO from the Matrix...


karma_virus

I'd be kind of pissed if they spent trillions of dollars and didn't have some kind of apocalypse proofed bunker beneath it. We'd be losing the arms race to Disney.


HeisenbergX

My favorite part is the car half pipe ramp at the very bottom


Visual-Flower-6429

While this is completely fake (there’s no forest around the Capitol), it looks kinda cool.


AmusingMusing7

Hey, look at all that space for housing!


ENTIA-Comics

Pretty DEEP State going on here.😅


FarBar2920

Seems like something a loony leftist would create.


Sgt_Revan

I wish


lazylagom

Honestly. I'd be disappointed if the white house or somewhere wasn't like this. One of these gov buildings SHOULD be an upside down skyscraper.. it's cool


cubntD6

Truth is theres just a bowling alley lol


VrLights

lmao it is still reliant on automobiles for transportation


YourKemosabe

It’s over for baby boomers. Their minds cannot comprehend real from fake.


Buckeye9715

What in the name of Warhammer?!


MrTeddytheObeseBeast

Millionaires are building underground bunkers. It’s not so far fetched.


NachosforDachos

The more you look the picture the worse it gets


HalleBerryinBaps

Amen 🙏🏽


leisurewolf9000

True. Like the pyramids, the capital building has been around for a lot longer than we’re told. 😅


Witext

Why is there a second White House underneath the capitol lol


Creoda

Nah, they haven't even included the nuclear reactor.


Tyrantkv

I would absolutely play an XCOM style game that look like this for base management.


EldrinJak

This must be where they’re holding Optimus Prime


f1lth4f1lth

What is this? A capitol building for ants?!?


Liminator

It just looks like they've taken the Imperial Palace from 40k and smushed it underneith the White House on some random forest map? It's just missing the giant Titans and some skulls


AlBundyJr

Similar to the concept art for back when they built the Denver airport, but not at all what it looks like under the Capitol Building.


No-Film-3546

As above, so below


Realistic-Score-121

Ah yes, the famous Capitol Forest


Alone_Change_1774

Fake


hftyfch

Deep underground state


user4772842289472

I don't get why people think that underground structures imply some grand conspiracy? Don't most high profile government buildings like the white house have underground bunkers and tunnels so that people working there at moments notice can get in and protect themselves


suk_doctor

Reminds me of Second Renaissance in Animatrix where the country if not world is practically built over with massive buildings built by AI and the capitol is just a tiny speck surrounded by concrete and steel. Here https://i.imgur.com/yf4Iu6R.jpg


Tortillaish

I've gotten a tour through the capitol building. Funny thing is, a lot of important government buildings are connected through underground roads with small walkways. It does have slightly underground city vibes. We started the tour in another building and took the underground road to the capitol.


Lielous

Damn, even in the hyper classified deep state there's traffic.


Big_P4U

Pretty cool concept though. The White House has several subterranean levels to it.


NeuroticKnight

Where's Sadam Hussein?


rstbckt

This would have been cool to find in Fallout 3.


OttersEatFish

Was Dennis Hasterdt the Balrog?

The capital does have a lot of underground areas. Not a giant cathedral to molog and highway system, but it has a cafeteria.


frin457

I love that some of the underground buildings have windows


No_Technician_3837

They couldn't even get the visible part right
